The preferences pane allows you to set your preferred audio quality based on whether or not you’re on a good network. Buffering is smart and playback is stutter free even on slower WiFi channels. You can share and buy songs through the menu as well. It’s easy to create a new radio station based on a songs name, album, or artist. Note that Pandora doesn’t actually let you listen to a specific song by a specific artist whenever you want – you can only listen to similar songs in an intelligently created radio stream. This is similar to what Last.FM offers. The Pandora app on the myTouch is a high-quality smart-radio application that brings your music tastes right to your smartphone.

 

The search feature gives you full access to the catalog. Note that this is not a streaming “radio” service like Pandora – you have full access to any song that’s available on the catalog, and you can skip as many times as you want. Streaming quality is top-notch, with no stuttering or lags on 3G or Wi-Fi. The interface is simple and intuitive, and the tabbed interface for the player does well to get out of the way once a song starts playing. As expected, Spotify does have a noticeable impact on battery-life, but this is true for these services on any smartphone. There’s currently no way to automatically generate a playlist for you based on a small sample of songs – a feature available in Pandora and Last.FM. Overall, this is a very polished and comprehensive music streaming application with offline syncing rounding off one of the more feature-rich and useful myTouch apps.

 

Trailer playback is pretty smooth, with no noticeable stuttering and intelligent buffering. I would have liked the ability to actually purchase tickets through the app, but that’s being touted as an upcoming feature at the moment. You don’t need to sign-up or be a member of Flixster to use this excellent app. The app is free and available now on the Market. A useful and easy-to-use myTouch app that could do with a few more features to make the movie-going experience even more pain-free for myTouch holders.

 

Greed on the myTouch is pretty quick and syncing is smooth and usually done in a few seconds. You can customize notifications based on specific conditions – say the number of unread articles reaches a certain figure. The app also lets you open articles in your browser if you prefer. Greed has it’s own home screen widget and the paid version comes with offline caching as well. Podcast support and the ability to share through Twitter round of the list of features for this highly functional myTouch app.

 

This is one of the more feature-packed myTouch apps. The app lets you import existing podcast feeds, lets you search for new feeds from within the app, and can stream audio directly through the network if you prefer (i.e. no download required). The app lets you organize and play podcasts and remembers last-played positions. It supports video playback and can display images related to the podcast. You can have the app automatically delete media files after a set period once you’ve viewed them. DoggCatcher is a full-featured podcast app for the myTouch, and whether you’re learning a new language or like to listen to podcasts on the metro, this is the app for you.

 

The app can also pull lyrics up for you while the song is playing in the background. Diggin also features some innovative interface approaches – you can create your own icons for albums by literally sketching them out within the app. The interface is really responsive and you can interact with almost all aspects of the app – you can drag and drop songs into different albums, and swipe across the screen to smoothly scroll through tracks and albums. A very well-designed myTouch app.

 

You can view trailers from within the application, and the quality is reasonably good with only a small delay at the beginning leading to a stutter-free playback for the rest of the trailer. This free application is really well-designed, with large, readable fonts, and a highly discoverable user-interface. Most actions can be completed with only a few clicks. All in all, this is a great application for the myTouch if you enjoy movie-going.

 

There is a wide choice of music you can select from, and the streaming quality is pretty good with no stuttering or delays. This myTouch app shows you your most recently played tracks, your saved tracks, and a search function all accessible from any point within the app. A very functional, easy-to-use app that plays nicely in the background as you go about working or playing on your T-Mobile myTouch 3G.
